He picked India, England, Pakistan, and Australia as his favorites to be there in the playoffs of the tournament. As quoted by Sportstar, Sachin said,”Champion… I would want India to be the champion but my top four would be India, Pakistan, Australia, and England. New Zealand is a dark horse, and so is South Africa because they know the conditions and in South Africa, you get to encounter these conditions in September-October.” In the tournament, Australia, England, Afghanistan, and New Zealand are in Group A, on the other hand, India is there in group B along with Pakistan and South Africa.
